A Free XML-Based Operating System

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the xml-versus-adam-oh-forget-it dept.

Dotnaught writes "For the past five years, Xcerion has been working on an XML-based Internet operating system (XIOS) that runs inside a Web browser and promises radically reduced development time. To provide developers with an incentive to write for the platform, Xcerion's back-end system is designed to route revenue, either from subscription fees or from ads served to users of free programs, to application authors. Think of it as Google AdSense, except for programmers rather than publishers. Is it absurd to think this poses a threat to Google and Microsoft?"

    If XML doesn't solve the problem, use more XML.

    No, it's an OS on top of an OS (your webbrowser) on top of an OS (your uhm OS).
